The map
Fresnes is in the Val-de-Marne department, a few kilometres south of the Paris périphérique. On a map it is part of the continuous urban area around the capital, so its edges run into neighbouring communes with no obvious break. Inside those edges the fabric is mixed. Older streets and detached houses sit beside the larger footprints of postwar housing estates.
The town is widely known for the Fresnes prison, one of the largest in France, which takes up a big, geometric site on the plan. Major roads run close by, including the A86 ring motorway that connects the inner suburbs. They add heavy lines to the edge of an otherwise fine-grained street pattern.
A Fresnes map poster shows the texture of the petite couronne, the ring of inner suburbs around Paris. Small curved streets sit next to straight arterial roads, with the occasional park and sports ground as open space. It is less about monuments and more about how a close-in suburb really fits together, drawn as a clean black-and-white plan.
The prison complex is one of the largest single shapes on the map. Its regular, walled layout contrasts sharply with the irregular residential streets around it.
Heavy road corridors run near the town, part of the network that links the Paris suburbs. On the poster they form bold lines at the margins of the finer street grid.
Detached houses on winding streets sit beside large apartment blocks set in open ground. The result is a patchwork of fine and coarse textures across the commune.

Why Fresnes
Fresnes is somewhere people have grown up, raised children and commuted into Paris from. A map of its streets marks that everyday geography more honestly than a picture of the Eiffel Tower would.
